Chapter 530: Forced into Sage Mode (Please Subscribe!)

Currently, Reia’s troubles didn’t overly concern Izay. Because no matter how much Reia worried about this aspect, she would ultimately still obediently accept the magic’s effects. After all, it was the temptation of her long-held desire~

Mary’s successful transformation gave the others immense confidence. Apart from Reia who was lost in overthinking, Fiel and Laura were all eager to try.

However, at this moment, Izay wasn’t in a hurry to prepare magic for them. Instead, he first took out a pile of clothes from his personal space and found a style that Mary could wear.

After helping Mary, who wasn’t accustomed to human clothing, get dressed, Izay began preparing the magic again. As for Mary… she sat on the side curiously pinching her little feet. For a mermaid without legs, suddenly having two legs felt like a child receiving a new toy—no matter what, they had to hold it and cherish it first.

But because she had never had legs before, Mary also had zero experience walking, and later on, teaching her would be inevitable…

While the girl was still cherishing her new legs, Izay started building magic for Fiel and the others. In just about ten minutes, the appearance of the previously monstrous-looking ones changed greatly.

The four girls in human form were “all over their bodies,” feeling an inexplicable strangeness. “Is this what it feels like to become human? So strange… my body isn’t as flexible as before…”

While speaking, Laura kept repeating movements like bending down, standing up, bending down, and standing up again, similar to sitting stretches, clearly adapting to her body. Her race was the “Naga,” amphibious beings that were half-human, half-snake.

Just from the name, one could guess why she felt her body wasn’t flexible. When acting as a “Naga,” she could contort herself into any position. Human bodies weren’t that convenient. The precise skeletal structure completely ruled out such possibilities… at most, only enhancing flexibility.

“Hmm, I can’t fly anymore… but it doesn’t feel bad!”

Fiel, like Reia, was a winged race and was gradually getting used to her arms. Those used to be wings.

“Indeed, it doesn’t feel bad, somehow there’s a sense of security after becoming like this.”

Laura nodded indifferently upon hearing this. It sounded strange. Being monsters, yet feeling secure with human bodies…

But considering the birth of these anomalies was facilitated by many fragmented souls of adventurers lingering in the dungeon, unable to ascend to the heavens for reincarnation, this result seemed reasonable.

Most importantly, after becoming like this, they wouldn’t have to worry about being attacked by adventurers anymore. Walking on the surface openly wasn’t an unattainable dream.

Reia, who was choosing tops and hesitating between long pants, shorts, or stockings nearby, also empathized with their exchange. Indeed, after today, they wouldn’t have to hide in the dungeon like before.

With the help of Fels and Izay, perhaps they could even try living in Orario. Of course, that would have to wait until the current weak period passed.

Under normal circumstances, if transformed into their current state, even Reia would be incredibly excited. But now, due to the extraction of magic stones’ power, she lacked the strength to feel excited. She was forced into sage mode.

……

Not long after, Fels and the others returned after being notified from the side cavern. The black-clad magician glanced at Reia, Fiel, and Laura, who had successfully transformed, then looked at Izay who was teaching Mary how to walk step-by-step.

The wise man’s gaze lingered particularly on the four people’s clothing for a while before sighing involuntarily. “Your good fortune with women truly makes me envious… Izay.”

“Hmm—? You want to release the magic instead of me staying here?”

Izay showed an attitude of indignation as if saying, “How dare you tarnish my innocence.”

If he still had any innocence left…

“The thing is… I was just making a comment, I’m just sour-graping, no other meaning~” Fels explained, conceding quite straightforwardly.

He couldn’t afford not to concede! The core technology was in the other person’s hands, plus Izay’s favor towards the anomalies. How could he argue over an unintentional comment?

It’s better to take a step back and see a broader horizon. He, Fels, could retreat dozens of steps!

“…”

Izay didn’t respond but gave him a look of disbelief.

Instantly, the black hood swayed, “Ahem… let’s not talk about this, did the magic succeed?”

Compared to bantering with Izay, Fels was more concerned about this point right now. Behind him, several anomalies led by the towering beast-man simultaneously directed their gazes.

Although they didn’t understand what those two had been talking about earlier.

But when it came to serious matters, they were wide awake!

For a moment, they even stopped munching on dungeon fruits due to boredom.

“The success is unparalleled; where are there any traces of monsters on their bodies?”

Following Fels’ clumsy change of subject, Izay raised his hand. In front of him, Mary, whose hands were held by him to adapt to walking, resembled a cat whose paws were lifted by its owner to stand upright, just with a bit more caution and excitement.

After observing carefully for a moment, Fels’ emotions carried some excitement, “Indeed, it’s an impeccable disguise magic that cannot be detected! With this, the biggest problem concerning the survival of the anomalies has almost been solved!!”

“I don’t know how to thank you…”

Waving a hand at this, Izay appeared unconcerned, “No need for thanks, Mary and I are friends, I’d help her regardless.”

“One thing is one thing, you’ve resolved a trouble for me and Uranus, that’s an undeniable fact.”

“In that case… if I ask for your assistance in the future, please try to support us?”

“No problem.”

Fels nodded straightforwardly. Even though he was clear that agreeing now meant acknowledging that he and Uranus owed Izay a favor.

Favors were the hardest things to repay.

But Fels didn’t care much about this point at the moment. Anyway, now himself, Uranus… plus Izay, the three of them could already be considered close allies. The more exchanges of friendship, the better!

Of course, the closer the relationship with Izay, the better~

Who wouldn’t want to be friends with a strong person?

“… Then next, I’ll help you, Brown, complete the magic ritual. Put down the fruit in your hand, stop eating!”

“Awooo, awoo～”

At the mention of his name, Brown obediently put down the dungeon fruit in his hand and stood in front of Izay. The next moment, gray-white magical light shone again.
